I can become stronger by paying salaries. I have one billion employees!

Chapter 325 Heavy-duty force measuring device, terrifying power! Yu'ebao is about to launch!

"Boss, this is the pre-launch promotion plan for Yu'ebao, as well as the marketing strategy for the launch day. I have reached an agreement with Mr. Huang from Pinbei, Mr. Liang from Jinri Technology, and Mr. Zhang from ByteDance Technology. We will coordinate across platforms and across the entire network to ensure that the product receives sufficient exposure."

Zhang Yinjia put down a paper document and then explained.

"The launch date is set for October 11th, exactly one month before Double Eleven, to encourage users to transfer their idle funds into Yu'ebao to earn returns, forming a closed-loop ecosystem of consumption + wealth management."

Chen Yansen took the plan and quickly flipped through it, soon grasping all the information.

Starting from October 8th, Orange Pay began sending out activity notifications to users, introducing the wealth management functions of 'Yu'ebao' in detail through a special page, emphasizing its low threshold and flexible advantages of 'investing from 1 yuan and depositing and withdrawing at any time'.

Both Toutiao and Lingxi Browser have placed prominent advertisements for Orange Pay and Yu'ebao on their homepages, with an average daily exposure of over 2000 million.

The primary goal is not to increase the app's download conversion rate, but rather to cultivate more potential users in preparation for the launch of Yu'ebao.

Social media platforms such as Weibo and forums are also important channels for publicity and dissemination.

Orange Pay's marketing team also invited a group of financial bloggers and internet influencers to share their positive product experiences as soon as Yu'ebao is launched, thus creating a good reputation for Yu'ebao.

In addition, advertisements were simultaneously placed on subways and buses in Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, and other cities to reinforce the concept that 'Yu'ebao = an upgraded version of current account deposits' to users.

In 2012, the benchmark interest rate for demand deposits was 0.35%, and the interest rate for one-year time deposits was 3%.

Simply put, the current account interest rate of Yu'ebao is higher than the interest rate of a one-year fixed deposit at a bank.

Furthermore, the T+0 redemption mechanism means that users can withdraw their funds at any time, greatly enhancing their sense of trust.

“Okay, boss, no problem.” Zhang Yinjia nodded in response.

After saying that, he left with Zhou Mingxuan.

Chen Yansen opened his computer, logged into the data backend, and checked the business and financial data of each subsidiary as usual. After confirming that everything was correct, he opened his email and continued to process procurement, patent licensing, and marketing expense applications.

His physical fitness score of over 30 has further reduced his sleep duration; he now sleeps for less than three hours a day before waking up automatically.

Song Yuncheng was exhausted after a day on the plane and went straight to bed when she got back to her dorm.

He showed no signs of fatigue and his energy and stamina remained exceptionally high!
The sky outside the window was gloomy, and a crescent moon leaped onto the shadowy branches, hanging in mid-air.

Chen Yansen glanced at the time; it was 6:15. Autumn was intensifying, and just after 6 o'clock, the streetlights in the science park came on.

The Rolex Explorer that was originally on his wrist has now been replaced by a Patek Philippe Calatrava mechanical watch.

This was a gift that Song Yuncheng bought for him in Switzerland, using two months' salary and overtime pay.

"This idiot!"

Chen Yansen looked at his watch and couldn't help but curse.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew in his heart that Song Yuncheng was indeed different from those girls who 'only talk about money and not feelings'. This girl knew that he had a girlfriend, but she still threw herself at him without hesitation.

For a moment, a warm feeling welled up in Mr. Chen's heart.

Chen Yansen smiled slightly, closed his laptop, and got up to walk outside.

A minute later, he bumped into Lao Gao, who was about to walk in, in the lobby on the first floor.

"Boss, you're back from your vacation or business trip?" Gao Weilin asked subconsciously, but quickly changed "vacation" to "business trip" before finishing his sentence.

"Spotify's letter of intent for investment has been sent to your email. You are responsible for following up on it. The initial valuation offer is $28 billion. If Spotify's data has not been manipulated, then we will proceed with this price."

Chen Yansen stopped and gave instructions to Gao Weilin.

“Okay, sure,” Gao Weilin replied immediately.

He learned about the investment in Spotify two days ago and has been compiling detailed information about Spotify, including the amount of each round of financing and the post-investment valuation, as well as Spotify's daily active users and paid users at the time of each round of financing.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. Help me buy two or three detached villas in Luzhou. They don't need to be too big, 500 square meters is enough. The distance between each house should be at least five kilometers."

Chen Yansen warned.

Three villas?

Gao Weilin was slightly taken aback, thinking: Besides Meng Jie and Song Yuncheng, who is the third person?
"Okay." Although Gao Weilin was curious, he knew that he shouldn't ask what he shouldn't ask or say what he shouldn't say.

After Chen Yansen finished speaking, he walked out of the office building, got into the driver's seat of the Bentley, turned around, and slowly drove towards the direction of the Virtual Academy.

This year's freshmen have just finished their military training, and after a month, most of them have adapted to the learning and living environment of the Virtual College.

Groups of young people were coming and going at the restaurant opposite the east gate of the School of Virtual Learning, whether it was a gathering of people from the same hometown, a student union social event, or a club dinner.

Chen Yansen glanced at the car through the glass window, then sighed. Even though he had been reborn back to the age of twenty, he had lost the spirit of a young man.

For him, the biggest purpose of going to university was to give his parents an explanation and, incidentally, to relive his university life.

With that in mind, he bought a dozen beers and a bag of snacks and braised food when he passed by Xueyuan Supermarket, and then leisurely slipped into room 8302.

There was a "bang" sound!
Chen Yansen kicked open the door, and only Tang Zhenzhe and Song Yang were in the dormitory.

"Brother Sen, long time no see! You've come all this way, why did you bring anything?" Tang Zhenzhe silently closed Kuaibo and greeted him with a smile.

"Bobo and Zhu Xiaopeng haven't gotten off work yet?" Chen Yansen pulled up a chair, plopped down, put his beer and snacks on the table, and asked.

“They’re not going to part with 1.5 times the overtime pay.” Song Yang grinned and leaned closer, then paused and added, “Qiangzi’s on duty at the startup park, I’ll give him a call.”

"No need, a dozen beers is just right for three people." Chen Yansen waved his hand, rejecting Song Yang's suggestion.

Tang Zhenzhe originally intended to inform Meng Xibo and Zhu Xiaopeng, but upon hearing Chen Yansen's words, he voluntarily hung up the phone.

Although Chen Yansen hadn't been back to his dorm for a while, he still reached into the drawer and took out a bottle opener.

Song Yang and Tang Zhenzhe were not good drinkers, and after a few bottles of wine, they started talking nonsense with flushed faces.

They talked about everything from the courier station to the student union, and then to the freshmen, going on and on.

Song Yang and Tang Zhenzhe, both juniors in college, are still immature in their dealings with people and in their relationships.

Listening to their nonsense, Chen Yansen laughed heartily.

An hour later, he left the boys' dormitory and headed towards the teachers' apartment. As he walked, he pondered the technical solution for the heavy-duty force measuring device.

With the equipment list he had compiled, Zuo Hongyu purchased all the parts for industrial-grade hydraulic force measuring machines, power sensors, and other similar equipment, and sent them to the warehouse location designated by Chen Yansen—located in an industrial area in the northwest corner of Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park.

Chen Yansen wanted to know what his strength limit was.

……

……

The next morning, Chen Yansen did not go to the science park, but went straight to the warehouse where the equipment was stored.

With a ceiling height of five or six meters and an indoor area of ​​over 600 square meters, the room is filled with a bunch of brand-new industrial parts: titanium alloy frames, 10-centimeter-thick hardened steel plates, hydraulic buffer devices, S-shaped tension and compression sensors, rubber damping layers, solenoid valve power-off devices, and industrial-grade data acquisition equipment.

For an ordinary person, without a crane or robotic arm, they would have no idea how to handle these parts that weigh hundreds or even thousands of kilograms.

But Chen Yansen tried it and found that the quenched steel plate, weighing 2000 kilograms, could be moved at will with just a light lift.

The morning passed quickly, and a strangely shaped heavy force gauge was finally assembled.

It may look ugly, but it works, so that's fine.

Directly in front of the force gauge is a circular metal impact block, with an S-shaped tension and compression sensor connected to the back. By simply striking the pressure plate, the signal amplifier can immediately collect the information returned by the sensor. Using an AD conversion module (which converts analog signals into digital signals), the signal is uploaded to the data acquisition equipment, whereby the force value can be analyzed.

Chen Yansen raised his right hand, exerted a little force, and punched the pressure plate with perfect accuracy.

The industrial touch screen next to it immediately displayed the number 6239 kilograms!
Less than half the force, yet it weighs six tons?
Chen Yansen looked at his right hand. The skin and flesh were intact, and the finger bones were undamaged. Obviously, with his physical strength, he didn't need to worry about using too much force and causing his skin to tear.

A loud "thump"!
Chen Yansen threw another punch, this time with 70-80% of his strength, and the number on the display screen soared to 10299 kilograms!

'Hold!'

Chen Yansen gasped. His strength was fine, but his physical strength was insufficient. The flesh on the back of his hand instantly felt a piercing pain under the impact of ten tons of force.

The skin wasn't broken, but a large area of ​​it turned red.

He had a vague feeling that if he used all his strength and punched the steel plate, his finger bones might crack.

We can't test anymore!
My physique needs to be strengthened again!
Test your leg strength!

Chen Yansen precisely controlled his strength to 70%, and suddenly delivered a front kick, slamming heavily onto the pressure plate.

He struck the ten-centimeter-long quenched steel plate with a 'crunching' sound, and the heavy force gauge, weighing about ten tons, was forced back three or four meters.

The numbers on the display screen climbed wildly, finally settling at 17136 kilograms!
It's not hard to imagine what would happen if Chen Yansen kicked the UFC champion with all his might.

I'm afraid they'll have to scatter pieces here and there on the spot.

Chen Yansen brought up the system panel and stared at the value of 31.16, momentarily stunned.

If the value is increased to 100, how much force would it reach? 60 tons or 100 tons?
Coupled with his terrifying mental strength, he was able to avoid 99.99% of accidents. Even if someone did it intentionally, it would be difficult for them to escape his divine sense detection.

The maximum range of this heavy-duty force gauge is 20 tons. Unless the hydraulic system is replaced to extend the range, Chen Yansen's strength would be enough to completely destroy all the parts inside the equipment with another kick.

After thinking it through, Chen Yansen lost interest in continuing the testing.

After leaving the industrial zone, we drove back to the science park, had lunch, and then started our weekly meetings with the heads of each project, beginning with Pinduoduo Mall.

Huang Zheng was busy preparing for the Double Eleven promotion. At the same time, in order to cooperate with the launch and promotion of Yu'ebao, the product department planned a "get trial money for placing an order" activity.

For example, if you buy a kettle for 99 yuan, you will receive 10000 yuan of Yu'ebao trial funds, valid for three days, with more gifts for more purchases.

The figure of 10000 yuan looks tempting, but the actual cost is only 4 yuan. It can increase the number of downloads of Orange Pay and bring a new user to Yu'ebao. It is definitely a super cost-effective deal.

After completing his work report, Huang Zheng added, "Boss, I plan to invite key account merchants to a Pinduoduo merchant conference before Double Eleven begins. This will serve as a summary of our work in 2012 and also provide an opportunity to discuss paid advertising collaborations with merchants for next year."

Nowadays, Pinbei's profit-making methods are becoming increasingly sophisticated. In addition to annual technology service fees, there are various paid resources, and the gross profit margin has reached 8% of the platform's GMV.
This shows that Huang Zheng was very good at making money, especially at extracting money from merchants.

"It's up to you to decide." Chen Yansen didn't object and gestured for the other party to go ahead and do it.

"Okay, boss." Huang Zheng replied with a slight smile.

Working at Pinbei Technology did not make him feel like he was working for someone else. As the boss, Chen Yansen only held one weekly meeting, which lasted less than an hour, and rarely interfered with his management and operations.

In addition, the generous annual salary and stock option rewards made him feel a strong sense of belonging to Pinbei.

Next was Orange Technology's weekly meeting. As usual, after reporting on the financial and business data, Zhou Shouzhi specifically mentioned the progress of the Orange Smart Living Pavilion project.

Within nine days of its launch, the platform, spanning 32 stores, generated a total sales revenue of 1.3 million yuan, with offline sales accounting for 71% and the remaining 29% achieved through the Kuaipao channel.

While it can't compare to the output of flagship stores on platforms like Orange Mall, Pinduoduo, Tmall, Suning, and Gome, it has added a brand new sales channel for Orange Technology.

In the future, when Orange Mobile's directly operated stores are all over the country, it will be able to generate at least tens of billions of yuan in revenue per year.

"Boss, I heard that Xiaomi plans to expand into overseas markets in India." After finishing their business conversation, Zhou Shouzhi said in a deep voice.

In his view, India, with a total population of over 12 billion but less than 3000 million smartphones, is a perfect fit for Orange Technology's development.

"You've got your eye on India's mobile phone market?" Chen Yansen countered.

“I think Lei Yijun has a good eye. India is like China three years ago. Once its potential is unleashed, the annual shipment of smartphones will not be less than 100 million units,” Zhou Shouzhi said seriously.

"We'll focus on a light-asset operating model and avoid heavy-asset models like investing in factories. I don't have much trust in the Indian market, after all, Pepsi and Sansing have both suffered losses, and Orange Technology might be the next one."

Chen Yansen did not directly object, but let Zhou Shouzhi test the waters first, and then frankly expressed his concerns.

You should know that the Third Brother treats everyone equally; he'll take advantage of anyone who comes.

For the Indian market, e-commerce and distributor channels are sufficient, making it easy for Orange Technology to withdraw and abscond in time.

“OK.” Zhou Shouzhi nodded, indicating his understanding.

at the same time.

There are only eight or nine hours left until Yu'ebao launches.
